Well on point! But it is still effort, and brainwork! No free lunch!

Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of working smart, not hard.
But most important things in my life come only after tremendous amount of effort put in.
If you work more than others it's not a shortcut. Just hard work.
Okay. But to be fair, hard work is not enough either. You have to do meaningful thing. My favorite quite about this is:
"Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation."
So, you need to be prepared (hard work) and find an opportunity to be successful.
